Expert Q & A Answers About chlamydia

My friend told me that if you have an STD, even if you’ve been treated, that you won’t be able to have a baby. Is that true? I got chlamydia from an old boyfriend, but I got tested and got medication from my doctor to get rid of it. Now I’m in love with someone new, and I wonder if I’ll ever be able to have kids.

I’m a 19-year-old college student and I am concerned about my vaginal discharge. It’s very heavy lately. There is no itching and not really any bad smell, but it is rather embarrassing. At first I thought it could be signs of a yeast infection…but besides the heavy cottage cheese discharge, there are no other signs. Please help.

Since as long as I can remember, I've always had some light, vaginal discharge. A few weeks ago, my boyfriend performed oral sex on me for the first time. A week later, he had a high fever and his doctor diagnosed him with a "throat infection" (not strep). Did my discharge cause this infection and is it an STD?
